Bobby Shmurda went from viral rap sensation to serving nearly 7 years in New York prisons, including time on Rikers Island — and now he’s back with a story you need to hear. In this exclusive interview, Bobby opens up about his rise in the music industry, the case that sent him to prison, what life inside Rikers was really like, and how he’s reinvented himself since coming home. #BobbyShmurda #RikersIsland #NewYorkPrison #LockedInPodcast #PrisonStories #HipHopInterview #RapCulture #truecrimepodcast Thank you to BLUECHEW & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew FREE & pay five bucks for shipping.
